To get access to Mechanical World in Area 2, go to the section north of the exit in Konami Town and destroy the well next to the big castle gate. After a short underground maze, you will get to Surprise Pass and then to the amusement park.

Watch out for the thieving pickpockets inside the park, though.

Holy shit!
12/13 year old me would have gone apeshit to play these. I even remember seeing images in EGM or GameFan and wanting a new SNES Legend of the Mystical Ninja sooo badly!

I'm SHAKING and CRYING. Every 2-3 months I would check the old ROMhack thread about GG2's translation in case there was any news. And 3 to boot!!

These people are doing god's work.

This is great news.
In terms of playing patched games, is there a good explanation somewhere on what the options are? I've got legit hardware and SFC carts along with a framemeister and an RGB cable, and would much rather play using some semblance of real hardware / software rather than an emulator if there is some gizmo out there that will assist in this.

Mystical Ninja starring Goemon on for the N64 is at the top of my "remake and then make a sequel" list. I never got into the 2d ones, but this looks pretty rad.

It's a shame that DDSTranslation hates Era and has me on block on Twitter for being an Era member. :T

I guess there's some kind of ResetEra block list out there somewhere.

I'm also part of that blocklist it seems.

DDS if you're reading this, nice translations and great work! Had nothing but praise for your work and Tom's. Too bad your irrationnal and obsessive hate pushes you to block people you have literally never interacted with 🙂

Easiest way to play these on original hardware is to grab a flashcart such as the Super Everdrive

I am super eager for these. Arent they the ones with the fucked up villain Seppukumaru and his egg shaped minions? That dude was ridiculous in the animated show.

He's from the 4th game.

And IIRC Seppukumaru's obsession with seppuku comes from the fact that he thinks it's the ultimate extreme sport. That he plans to be the first to master.

Not to say the villains of these games aren't any less wacky: the main bad guy from Goemon 2 is an insane western missionary turned equally insane Japanophile general who attempts to take over Japan with his bunny themed army to adapt the country to Western values.

Some emulation console actually let you use your Japanese cart in the slot and the patch on a SD card though. Like the recent iterations of the Retron. They just dump the cart and patch it.

Grew up with the SNES and N64 games. Blew my mind when I found out there were more but we would never get them. This is like a decades long dream for me.

So is anyone working on the 4 PS1 games? Some of them look pretty cool.

Oh damn, this is amazing! I own the SFC versions of the games and have only ever really dabbled, never played them seriously. Time to change that! Thanks for the heads up!

I would rather have someone work on the GBC Goemon game, which is aces.

that's what I meant with the second part. personally not a fan of these. does the analogue nt do that too btw?

No Analouge systems including the NT read cart data from the cart in realtime like the original systems. But you can dump your cart with a cart dumper and patch it and then load it onto the NT Mini via the Jailbreak firmware.

SNT actually does have a cart dumping function in the JB itself, but not sure about NT Mini

There's always part 4...
(edit: Nevermind, they're on that one too. Damn, year of dreams for me).

I'll echo the others saying this is a dream from childhood. The 4 Ganbare Goemon games (and to a slightly lesser extent, the PS1 games) are special beyond words. They are literally the only Super NES/Famicom games I own, and I have hoped for this for as long as I can remember. Really hope someone gets on the remaining games.

Looks like I know what I am playing tomorrow...

Whatever blocklist they're using presumably has nothing to do with resetera, because my account with 0 tweets, a few animal retweets, and a few anti-Trump likes is blocked by them. The account isn't following anything related to resetera or its members.

I worry that their blocklist is picking off people for reasons that would make me uncomfortable supporting their work now -.-"

Meh, not sure if supporting is the right word here.

More like profiting from their work, which I personally don't mind, if they were asking for money they'd automatically fuck off in my book, but I'll take this.

mystical ninja was among my favorite games growing up. my friends and i still shot the shit with it on wii VC up until a few years ago when i finally retired my wii for entertainment center real estate.

heard mixed things about he snes sequels and i have faint memories of trying the import copies and not digging them much (which could totally be my imagination) but now's time to check it out i guess

IMO the sequels (2 & 4 is all I can speak for) are better than the first SNES game. More polished, wackier and with better gameplay. 4 pushes the SNES to its limits, some of the stuff they pull out is quite impressive and the graphics are delicious. Gameplay-wise I think I prefer 2 overall but 4 is the flashier one.

Alright let's make this happen.

Now I'm wondering if this is authentic or some BS done by the translators after reading this thread.....

I wouldn't be surprised if this was OG though, considering the era it was made in. *sigh*

The original isn't great, either (using the term "newhalf"), but the translation seems actively malicious.
